Rooth Kiriban: free art at 25,555 views! (getting close!)
13 years ago
Click here for 55 awesome artists, and links to their favorite artists! (and 30 more from 2013) (and 32 more from 2014)Back this giant monster Game, Kaiju Combat, and you can play Aram's sister-in-spirit, DragonLotus! Hey, I just noticed I'm almost at 25,555 views. Holy crap!
The prize: a commission of up to $50 (or $50 toward a commission) from any artist who has done art of one of my characters. Generally speaking, that's anyone with art in my FA gallery, but there may be a couple of artists out there who have done art of one of my characters who I haven't posted to the gallery. Maybe there's some fan art I don't know about, or art that I haven't had a chance to post before this Kiriban is done. You work out the commission with the artist you choose, and I give them the monies! Not everyone's open for commissions, but I'm sure you can find one who is. :) (tip: click 'search' and type in 'rooth', 'roothroo', 'aram', or 'cynniri' -- pretty much all my characters, although cinniri's name is actually cinnamon, but that's far too common, so I added 'cinniri' as a nickname for her).

1) Grab a screenie of my profile page with pageviews showing 25,555. It has to show at least this much of the page. It can include more than that if you like, but it needs to have at least that much.
2) Post a comment to this journal with a valid link to your screenie, and a valid link to your favorite FA artist (anyone, even if it is not the one you will be commissioning) . Like this:

If your comment doesn't have an FA artist in it, IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED! I'm doing this in part to grow the number of artists I'm watching. ;) If you don't know how to do that icon thing, just cut&paste the artist's FA URL, like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/rooth/
3) Comments will be accepted for 5 minutes after the 25,555 mark is hit. I will use timestamps of comments to determine when the cut-off is. I will know when the pageviews actually hit 25,555 because I have magic powers. Comments posted before the 25,555 mark is hit will not be counted -- it's not about being first, it's about being fair, so don't try to game the system, ok?
4) I will randomly choose a winner from the users with valid comments posted. Remember, if your comment doesn't have a link to an FA artist in it, it won't count, even if it has a valid screenie. And remember, if your screenie doesn't meet the requirements of #1, your comment won't count, even if you have a valid FA artist. Then I'll get with you and we will pick an artist you will commission. As stated earlier, it has to be an artist who has done art for me in the past. Easy way to find most of them is to browse my gallery, and/or use FA search to search for "rooth".
5) Do not cheat. Don't take someone else's screenie, and post it as your own. I'll know if you did it, because I have magic powers. (see #3)
6) Be nice. Don't be a jerk. If anyone grumbles, I won't do a 1,000 watcher kiriban.
F A Q
Q) 25,555? Why? Why not 25,000?
A) 'cause 25,000 is overdone. 25,555 looks cooler. And has 255 in it. Which is 11111111 in binary. >.>
Q) Why 5 minutes? Why not just take the first one?
A) Because I have magic powers.
Q) Why can't I commission some other artist?
A) Because the only reason I have 25,555 views is because of the awesome art people have done for me. I want to give a little business back to them, even if it's my money, and I probably already gave them money for what they've already done (though there's some freebies in there).
Q) What if I do art for you before the Kiriban happens, can I be one of the potential artists chosen to be commissioned?
A) Sure! But the choice of who to commission is up to the winner, not me. So your odds of being selected might be kinda slim.
Q) I want to do a $2,000,000 commission from artist Bob. Will you pay for it?
A) No. I'll only pay up to $50.
Q) I want to get a $40 commission from artist Bob. Will you give him $50?
A) No. I'll only pay for the commission. Tips are up to you.
Q) Can I get ANY commission I want? Even pr0n?
A) Yeah, I guess so. I'd prefer non-pr0n, 'cause that's how I roll, but if the artist is cool with it, I guess I am.
Q) Can I include you in the commission?
A) Maybe. This is not a ploy for me to commission art outside of my freeze, this is for you and the artist. I might allow it, if you have a really good idea, I know you well enough, you're really convincing, and your character is the focus of the picture.
Q) How are you going to pick?
A) It'll be like my raffle from January's RAAM. random.org + pregenerated randomness + public list = repeatable, totally above-board, totally without bias. And anyone who cares to can verify my results, as well as the randomness. It's the ultimate in fairness!
